SINGAPORE: With a name like Show, the expectation is always for a stage presence that makes it a show like no other. And Show Luo certainly lived up to both his name and expectations.

The night of 100% pure entertainment opened with the star literally descending on his fans who gathered at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for Show Luo's "2011 Show Encore World Live Tour".

Back for the third time in two years, it was certainly an encore for the more than 10,000 fans who were treated to three hours of pure entertainment, including special visual effects such as indoor fireworks.

With a hard-to-miss neon jacket over a dazzling silver jumpsuit, Luo kept the tempo up with dance tracks like "Only You", "Wu Fa Wu Tian" and "Jing Wu Men".

The "Asia Dance King" from Taiwan also proved his claim to the title, being rarely out of breath whilst dancing and singing live throughout the night.

In fact the "100% Entertainment" host was even entertaining when he was bad.

"Those who bring their girlfriends, your eyes only me!" said the mega star as he fluently fumbled in English, reminding the audience to keep their eyes on him for the night as he went to declare, "Your girlfriend is me!"

As a dancer offered a quick word in his ear, Luo did a quick re-take without dropping a beat. "Your girlfriend is mine!" he said amidst laughter from the crowd.

When Luo went for a costume change, fans were kept engaged with video montages of his acting career from the 2004 "Outsider II" to hit show "Hi! My Sweetheart"in 2009.

The screen theme continued even when Luo re-appeared, as he launched into his famous melodramatic theme songs including "Hui Se Kong Jian", "Ai Zhuan Jiao", "Xing Fu Bu Mie" and "Ai Bu Dan Xing".

"I like doing idol dramas as they will leave a lasting impression" Luo said of his role as a big-haired nerd in "Hi! My Sweetheart", which became one of the highest-rated dramas in Taiwan and Singapore.

It was an interactive show with Luo getting his audience on their feet in "Twinkle" –even pointing out some in the crowd who were not dancing or entertaining everyone else.

The concert came to a rousing end after two encores of "Ai Feng Tou" and "Cheng Yao" as Luo thanked his fans and his mother, who was on tour with him.
